Notifications Issue on Watch and Phone

So i've had my watch for over a week now and everything has been flawless until last night.

For whatever reason, I am not receiving notifications on both my watch AND phone. Prior to this, if my phone was asleep I would get the notification on my watch and if I was using my phone then I would not receive anything on the watch.

Now all of a sudden, I get a notification on the watch and as soon as I actually check the notification, my phone will light up with it. The odd thing is it ONLY happens once I actually check the message on the watch. I can wait for 5 minutes and as soon as I check on my watch, the phone lights up like it just received the message.

This just happened to me too. first 24 hours totally fine, then both stopped. Rebooting phone alone did not help. Unpairing phone did help. Software bug...and annoying at that, I missed an important message.

Really not happy with this type of bug within 24 hours of first using.

What the OP said as original behavior is the way it's supposed to be. When you are using the watch (phone is locked), notifications come to the AW. When the phone is in use (unlocked) they go there only. Mine have about 99% followed this and I had to reboot once in the last two weeks when it got out of sync.

I have just received my watch today. And haven't gotten any notifications on my watch. I tried rebooting my phone and watch. I re synced everything and paired again and again. And nothing. And I have my notifications set to mirror my phone. Not sure what I am doing wrong.

Edit: Also when I swipe down on my watch it shows no new notifications, even though my phone has notifications waiting to be checked.

Strange, guess I just thought it previously had come to both.

Honestly, I wish it did go to both. The phone vibration is stronger so I won't miss it, and I can glance at the phone and see the notification if it is lying on my desk without having to scroll multiple lines on my watch. Watch is obviously easier for quick glances when the phone is in my pocket.

I get notifications on both my ipad and iphone. Why wouldn't I want it on AW and phone too? When I click on one, I'm fine with it going away on the other...but seems like there should be an option to keep on both.

I am not sure. But this is the second day of using the watch. And still nothing gets sent to the watch. Even if I don't use the phone at all. I don't have the phone on silent. I even set the watch app to manually notify me. Rather than mirror my phone. And still nothing. Not even a delayed msg.

Any insight fellow watch owners?

Notifications appears to only work on your watch if your phone is in standby mode ie your not actually using it and your on the passcode screen

U can't get simultaneously watch and iPhone notifications it would appear
